My husband prefers the Char Siu Bao that are steamed, which they have on the menu as well. Also got the shrimp and scallops noodle roll (Cheung Fun)...essentially just a shrimp or scallops wrapped in a big noodle - also very good! This is an awesome and convenient Dim Sum place.

Although the place was busy, but the staff was cheerful in attending our needs and taking orders. We ordered pig hoof in Chinese wine (川香麻醬豬手) - each bite of the hoof with skin was crisp and with no fatty taste; grainy beef with mushroom (香茶菇爆牛肉) - the beef was tender and soft with the right combination of mushroom; braised spinach (上湯菠菜)- very soft and no bitter taste; stewed fish fillets in rice wine sauce (糟溜魚片) - was fresh, tasty, and excellent addition of soft cloud ear; and minced chicken with pine nuts wrapped in lettuce (松子雞米生菜包)- each bite of warm chicken wrapped in the cold, crips, and fresh lettuce was just heavenly! Desserts included traditional mung bean cake (傳統綠豆糕) and mango juice with pomelo and fresh mango (楊枝甘露) - highly recommended! The above five dish menu was good for a group of five people. We left without an overwhelming feeling. The diligent staff -servers and managers, did add to an excellent dining experience!

One the most delicious ones is the grilled glutinous rice with chicken inside. My personal favorite is the tofu pudding (豆腐花).

They also have delicious dinner dishes, especially the paper covered pork and the three bean pudding for dessert.

Visited for dim sum on a Saturday afternoon, around 12:00. Luckily enough shopping at Cityplaza was…read moreon my to-do list, so this family meal was relatively convenient. Our group (around 25) didn't have reservations, so we got placed in one of the large sectioned off rooms, with another table of 4 people sitting there as well. Ordered dishes comparable to other dim sum locations - har gow, siu mai, bbq pork bun, rice noodles, carrot cake, fried rice, and many more. Taste wise it was alright on the most part. Food came hot and portions were decently sized. Most dishes started at around 40 HKD ~ 6 CAD, which is a bit expensive when compared to dim sum spots in Canada. Nonetheless, it seems to be a good place if you have a large group and are looking for a break between shopping in the Tai Koo Shing area. Disclaimer: I'm not a true dim sum enthusiast to begin with since I probably go once or maybe twice in a whole year.

Ho Choi (好彩海鮮酒家) is located on the 5th floor of Millennium City, smack in the middle of all tall…read morebusiness buildings in Kwun Tong. There are two lift areas to go up - one in the main lobby and one off to the right side, down a narrow hallway (best for when the main lifts are too busy). When talking to my friends about the best places for dim sum, establishments such as Maxim's Palace, Tim Ho Wan, Lei Garden, Dim Dim Sum and One Dim Sum pop up. But not many know about Ho Choi... Why is that? I'm actually not too sure myself. They have two branches in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan, which could be far for some, and one in Kwun Tong (which I frequent because it's close to where I work). Some say the original Ho Choi in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan is OK, nothing to special, so I decided to take a visit out to see if they were correct. (A separate review for the Sai Wan one will be posted soon!) But I can definitely vouch for Ho Choi in Kwun Tong to be one of my favorite places! The tables in the main area - that is, not in a "room" - are up for grabs, first come first serve. Get there before 12:10pm to beat the lunch crowd, or risk waiting for a while. The best thing, if you want to skip the wait, is to make a reservation for one of the tables in the "rooms" for ordering main dishes (小菜). You must order 3 or more main dishes when seated at those tables. But of course, you can still order dim sum there. Win-win! Also, because it's sectioned off from the main area, it's much quieter and more conducive to business lunches. While the prices for dim sum and main dishes have gone up in recent years (inflation, rental increases, etc), rest assured you are still getting your money's worth of delicious food! They used to have different price tiers - cheaper in the morning, standard rates during weekday lunch times, and higher prices on the weekends - but upon checking the prices during my last visit, it looks like they are now fixed. For 5 people, with 4 main dishes, and 6 dim sum plates, the total came to be just under HKD 700. Excellent bang for your buck! The tea charge is $12 per person, which is fairly standard. Dim sum plates are tiered, starting at $17 for 'small', up to $32-$35 for 'specialty' plates. Ordering the dim sum is very easy, as you just need to fill in a Scantron-like sheet (college throw-back eh?), with dishes listed in English and Chinese. I was asked to order for the table: - Crispy chicken (half) 脆皮雞 (半) - so crispy, so good! - Sweet and sour pork 咕嚕肉 - my first time ordering the 咕嚕肉 here and everyone raved about it! The freshly prepared sweet and sour pork is a game-changer here and puts those found at a buffet to shame. - Sauteed broccoli with scallops - need those vegetables and seafood! - E-fu noodles with shrimp and egg whites - I appreciate the lack of salt and strong flavors in this noodle dish, as it helps to balance out the other salty and heavy dishes. Thankfully no MSG! Dim sum on point. I'm already hungry for more, even from writing this review. Top favorites here are the BBQ pork buns, chicken feet with black bean sauce (my absolute favorite!), Chiu Chow dumplings (潮州粉粿), and Jin Deui sesame balls (煎堆). If you still have space for dessert, go for it. If you don't, still go for it.

Most of us were satistfied and full after these 2 dish cos of the huge portion. Then the Grouper was super fresh. The bill, which was just HKD 28xx only.

This place makes excellent noodles of both the fried and soup kind, and they offer very flavourful side dishes too! I wouldn't order Xiaolongbao here (that's Shanghainese, and there's better stuff in the menu anyway...), but you should definitely try the different kinds of buns and snacks. For the more adventurous diners, the pig ears here are very well seasoned and tender, yet slightly chewy. Their pan fried green onion bread (蔥油餅) was impressive, seeing as it it had a light crunch to it, thanks to the sesame seeds on top, and the fragrance of the green onion was well balanced. Prices overall are also quite reasonable, but if you choose to eat early, I.e. around 5, come a little earlier and order off the tea time menu for extra value. Service may not always be the speediest, but the food generally makes up for it.

To see these restaurants sprout like proverbial bamboo shoots after a spring rain is truly remarkable, since pretty much all of them are of an extremely high quality. Is there a chef factory hidden somewhere whence they are schooled and trained, overnight! As you saw from the pictures, the Chinese BBQ (some of it anyway) is done on premise, right through a window, with suckling pig and goose being their specialties, along with Chinese hot pot. When it's 81 out at 7 p.m., it's not quite hot pot season. A lot of their dishes are sort of variations or twists of once-familiar dishes - another trait of local restaurants, where everyone is trying to outdo each other in innovation (the filet, Chinese style, is an example. So why 4 stars? The stir-fries are a little on the greasy side for my taste, and there's generally too much added sugar creeping into too many dishes. The goose is fat and a bit chewy - unless you want your palate coated with goose grease, you'll feel the same as I do. This may be a function of the bird more than the method - which is why I prefer duck over goose. Price is mid-high side, but that's because seafood is so expensive. The main reason for less than the full-five-on is that this is in the context of all KINDS of competition. In Orlando, this could easily be a six-star spot!
